The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...

One doesn't have to be an aviator to understand how an aircraft works. In simplistic terms, engines push it through the air, the wings provide lift, and various control surfaces like stabilizers, ...

Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...

The aircraft is meant to develop and mature rotor blown wing design, which can now be applied to larger aircraft for unmanned aerial logistics and even tactical ISR missions. Sikorsky announced it has ...

As the U.S. Air Force is moving to modernize its fleet of aircraft, it is looking to new and innovative designs to help it advance its goals. And one such design is that of a blended-wing body ...

Today, aircraft wings are increasingly designed to prioritize stealth characteristics over raw speed—giving them a smooth, unbroken connection to the aircraft’s main fuselage. The wing of a fighter ...

The core advantage of a tilt‑wing in hover is that the entire wing sits inside a powerful, uniform propeller slipstream. That slipstream acts like a wind‑tunnel moving with the aircraft, smoothing out ...
